182 gear stick shaking when driving?

happens mostly when laying off and quiet bad when the car's just started any idea of the cause? (the car has only done 40k)

thanks

It'll be an engine mount mate. 40k miles sounds more than enough to go through at least one of them, they're fairly cheap and easy to replace though, million and one threads on them.

how much are they to replace roughly?

 

[Clioste]

Shouldn't be to much as it's only two bolts do it ya self mate

is this what i need? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item417a5473b1

Yeah I had them but you need a press to push them in.

You don't get the arm with it just bushes.

Mine vibrates like hell when driving. I plan to replace those same bits.

Dunno if those ebay ones are the best or the Powerflex are the best:

Tbh I don't think it makes much difference.

Yes they do vibrate a lot that's why I just went to renault and bought original dog bone mount.

Powerflex or other hardend bushes will only increase vibrations for a few hundred miles then it will start to calm down.

I have zero vibration through mine now and its been on a while.

which are you using?

 

[MartinR]

Purple powerflex.

As said initially there is vibration but it soon drops off.

Most people fit them drive down the road hate it and remove it without giving it chance

Mine still has noticable vibration at idle after a good few thousand miles, most people's are like this but it's not as bad as when you first put it on.

 

[Diagro]

I will put it this way.

At idle its like got a strong vibration.

Whilst on the motorway its as powerfull as my Wifes : http://www.stressnomore.co.uk/super...MfaiOmZ-sL31piC0B5DUJiNnQhZAdYyMt6gLY2j7w_wcB

Will give your hand a numb feeling if left on it lol

i have the Powerflex on order

Is it visibly vibrating or only if you hold it you can feel it?
